While a couple of Delilah’s stations run her show overnights, most of her affiliates air the show between 7 P.M. and 12 Midnight local time.
But as this will be “custom” for KSWD-94.1 Seattle, perhaps her format will be a little different and be geared more towards working soccer moms who listen in the office.
